Meet LF Energy at DISTRIBUTECH 2026 — and See the Future of Digital Grid Infrastructure in Action
For the first time ever, LF Energy is bringing a dedicated booth to DISTRIBUTECH 2026, February 2–5 in San Diego – and we’re not coming empty-handed.
DISTRIBUTECH is the premier transmission and distribution event in North America, bringing together utilities, technology vendors, researchers, and grid operators to explore what’s next for power systems. This year, LF Energy will be on the show floor showcasing real, production-grade open source technologies already being used by utilities worldwide.
Why stop by the LF Energy booth?
Located just outside the main keynote hall (thanks to our sponsor Aetheros), the LF Energy booth will be a hands-on hub for modern, software-defined grid infrastructure. Throughout the event, you’ll find:
- Live demos of LF Energy projects, including GEISA and CoMPAS
- Engineers and community leaders from LF Energy, Aetheros, Google, Savoir-faire Linux, and Southern California Edison
- Practical conversations about how open source is being deployed today to improve grid resilience, flexibility, and interoperability
Spotlight on the technology
GEISA (Grid Edge Interoperability & Security Architecture)
GEISA provides a reference architecture for building secure, interoperable grid-edge systems, where DERs, EV infrastructure, substations, and operational technology meet IT and cloud platforms. At the booth, you’ll see how GEISA helps utilities and vendors:
- Establish consistent security and interoperability patterns across heterogeneous environments
- Reduce integration risk between grid edge devices, platforms, and applications
- Build architectures that scale across vendors without lock-in
Don’t miss this live session
LF Energy members Alliander and RTE will also deliver introductory demos on virtual protection, automation, and control (vPAC) using open source, on February 4 at 1:00 PM. This session offers a concrete look at how open source platforms like SEAPATH are moving from concept to operational reality.
If you’re attending DISTRIBUTECH 2026, make LF Energy a stop on your agenda. Whether you’re a utility evaluating next-generation architectures, a vendor building interoperable solutions, or a researcher exploring open collaboration, our booth is the place to see how open source is shaping the modern grid, today.
We look forward to meeting you in San Diego.
